Engage
If God is leading you to engage the Hui with the Gospel you do not need to try to do it alone. Many living among the Hui are available and willing to help. Resources have already been created that we are happy to share. For those of us living among the Hui, one of our prayer requests is for more workers and more churches to help us engage the Hui with the Gospel in more population segments because the Hui are such a large unreached people group (15 million) who live in thousands of different cities around the world.
As we live among the Hui and consider how to engage the Hui with the Gospel in multiple population segments, we realize that we need the help of many churches. We are seeking churches who are willing to adopt a population segment of the Hui (rural area, town, city, or county) and begin engaging the Hui in that specific place with the Gospel.
It is not a complicated process to go from praying for the Hui to engaging the Hui. It can be broken down into five basic steps:
- Pray for the Hui as a Church
- Attend a Hui Summit
- Go on a Vision Trip
- Adopt a Hui Unengaged Population Segment
- Begin Engaging the Hui in Adopted Area
To help you pray through the possibility of adopting a specific population segment to engage, the resources below will explain what it will look like for your church to walk through the five steps above and partner with field workers to engage unengaged, unreached Hui population segments with the Gospel.
If you think of other topics and issues that you want us to address, please contact us. We will try to address all the important issues that can be addressed clearly without compromising the security of ongoing or future work among the Hui.
Engage the Hui: Advocacy Team
After 30 days of prayer for the Hui, if your church chooses to pursue engaging the Hui with the Gospel, it will be important to form a Hui Advocacy Team. There are a few reasons for this. One, your church staff already has many responsibilities and even if they have a missions pastor, coordinating all aspects of engaging the Hui would be overwhelming. Second, it is important to have continuity between trips. Each short-term trip will be composed of different people, but it is important that a few people form a core to provide training for each team, communicate with field leadership and recruit teams to go. Third, it is necessary for someone (or a couple of people) to take ownership of developing a prayer strategy for the Hui in your local fellowship.
Engage the Hui: Our Vision Statement
The best place to start when preparing to engage the Hui is with a vision. It is also helps to understand why we are encouraging you to engage the Hui. Our vision for the Hui has led us to not only develop this website but also recruit and mobilize others to join us in proclaiming the Gospel among the Hui.
There are different teams and churches working among the Hui, but overall our vision is the same: we all desire for Hui people to come to know and follow Jesus.
Prayer Requests
- Please pray for God to raise up churches around the world who will intentionally pray for the Hui and engage the Hui with the Gospel.
- Please pray asking if God is calling you or your faith family to adopt an unengaged Hui population segment and begin proclaiming the Gospel in that location.
- Please pray that during the next 3 years every unengaged population segment (city, county or province) with over 100,000 Hui residents will be adopted and Gospel proclamation will begin.
- Please pray for unity among field workers and church partners. May we all work closely together to shine brightly for Jesus among the Hui.
